CAL FIRE officials say early snowpack melting driven by record-setting March temperatures extends the peak fire season. Despite late seasonal rain, vegetation around the Bay Area has already begun browning. Fire officials urge residents to create defensible space around homes to reduce wildfire risk, especially in neighborhoods such as the Oakland Hills. Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority emphasizes residents should cut vegetation back without enforcement pressure. Bay Area jurisdictions have defensible space rules, while Sacramento works on statewide enforcement, and residents call for more local government funding for defensible space projects.
